anyone know where to get G88's cheaper than £230?I read through the entire brake section regarding brembos and squealling, the majority of people suffered from it but one or two were noise free, i'm very tempted just to try the plain 288mm discs to see if i'm one of the lucky ones lol, i can get a pair of Pagid discs through the garage for a measly £27! when i first spoke to ECP, i asked for best quality discs, they told me funnily enough they stock Brembo ones, the guy then told me they can no longer supply them so Pagid are best ones i can get from them. i'm probably p**sing into the wind but i'll try anything before i shell out for G88's!....oh and i need a set of 15's that will clear the calipers, eddiebeano has offered to to let me try his 1.2's |

iirc these ones I saw had been powdercoated, but it was still cardboard clearance, not quite fag paper  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

lol! i was thinking about sourcing a set of ford fitment rims Et38-42 as i have a set of 24mm (iirc)hubcentric adaptors, this gives me more much more of a chance of finding wheels and machineing isnt too much of a problem for me as my mate is an ex turner / fabricator so if i had to alter spacers to get the correct offset then i'd be sorted |

just wait till you see the weight of the disc... total weight of disc and caliper is nigh on identical between std gti6 and brembo+288's...... and a decent set of AP's weigh under half that of those brembo's, even the renault ones are significantly lighter. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

For fast road ferodo ds2500s or mintex 1144s will be brilliant. For note track orientated pads ds3000s or mintex 1155s will be good, or you want to start looking at cl pads for out and out track work, but be warned they will ruin your paint after a while unless religiously washed...________________________________________ '97 Black Dturbo 110,000miles: SOLD'99 Ph3 Diablo Gti6 108k RIP '93 106 1.5n/a d: daily hack YAAAAAWN '00 Ph3 Astor GTi6 117k  |
